Unexpected

chap 33

   Swathi kept crying hugging Dev while his hands just laid limb on the sides. He just doesn't know how to console her. He patted her back in order to make her feel better. Dev looked at Vishak for help pleading with his eyes. 

  Vishak nudged Vishal to take Swathi away from Dev. That's when Dev breathed out . He doesn't even realized that he was holding his breath for this long.

When Vishal pulled Swathi away from Dev , she freed herself from Vishal and started hitting him.

" Do you have any idea how long I have been searching for you... ýou idiot .... I was scared that even I started searching for your name in death list " she scolded him.

" where were you all along " she asked him when Vishal locked her in his hold tightly.

" In Russia " Dev said with tears in his eyes.

" I.... I'm leaving I need to meet your sister " Dev said running away from there.

" Swathi ... Isn't he the one who raped you " Hari asked his daughter.  Swathi shook her head in denial.

" Why are you both sisters trying to save him. I still remember his face clearly.  He was hovering over you Swathi " Rithik yelled at her.

" Just because he was hovering over me doesn't mean he raped me " Swathi said looking at Rithik

" what do you mean " Rithik asked her getting irritated.

" he saved me from them. Its true he was one among them but he saved me. He was drugged and beaten badly because he tried to help me. When you saw him over me that day.... he was dressing me because he doesn't want anyone else to see me the way he saw me " Swathi said while Vishal holded her onto him.

" what do you mean by he was one among them " Rithik asked her again. His lawyer brain needed answers.

" He told me that day.... he helped them in kidnapping me... I don't know much more that that " she told them.

" I want to see him. Let me go please " she pleaded Vishal. So he let her go.

She ran  to her Sister's room , while others followed her. Dev had his head on Nithya's lap while she was running her hands through his hair.

" So you hided behind my sister " Swathi said playfully.  Dev just looked at her and smiled.

" Don't just smile ... tell me what happened to you " Swathi asked him.

" he was in coma for two years " Nithya mumbled quietly looking at Dev.

" the drugs and the wound on the back of his head wasn't of any help.  He was barely alive. But I cannot let go off my hope na " she said pulling his nose.

" you saved him Akka " Swathi asked Nithya.

" yeah.... he saved you.... I saved him" she said with tears in her eyes ........
